Sneaky Geek

Almost-Doctor Erik joins us this week to discuss the musical stylings of Coheed and Cambria!

Why discuss a band on a geek podcast you ask? BECAUSE WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT.

Also because the band's entire discography is related to a single fictional universe that has comic book and novel tie-ins!

Erik tells us what approach you should take when exploring the band's musical stylings so that Bryce can finally give them a proper second chance.

We interviewed Nick Colianese, owner and creator of Key Collector, an app designed with the first online database for finding 'key issues' of comic books!

He found us at SDCC this last year and we loved his app, but thought it might be good to see how a comic store owner might feel about it!

So then we went to The Comic Book Hideout (The comic book store where Bryan and Bryce have their weekly pull subscriptions) and asked Glynnes Pruett what she could tell us about the pros and cons of being a key collector!

And finally, our four parter Sneaky Geek Goes to Comic-Con comes to a close! We bring Reid and Nick back on for a segment and then head over to Dave Ziegler as he recounts his entire stay at SDCC this year (to the best of his ability given that it happened months ago).

Heads up listeners, some feels were had in this episode.

We love what we do and love that you listen, so please give us a like, a listen, and then a subscribe!

We're doing this one day at a time thing because we have so many crazy great stories from Comic-Con! From grievances about the Wired Lounge DJ selection (He didn't even have the cupid shuffle! Who doesn't have the cupid shuffle!) to our love of collectibles and the many different directions a con can sometimes take you without you realizing it, we're here to talk about Saturday.

Bryce met his hero, Bryan rekindled his excitement for the Dragon Ball franchise (I mean did it need rekindling?) and then we discuss the many ways Con Flu can manifest itself! -Sometimes it's not a virus. Sometimes you're just dumb and get massive exhaustion with a touch of hypothermia from not changing before getting into a pool you snuck into.

Join us with Nick and our new guest Reid as we talk SDCC Saturday! Also, our audio is a mess and hopefully you'll forgive us for it!

A TRAILER CAME OUT FOR CAPTAIN MARVEL AND WE ARE EXCITED.

(see? all caps. that's how you show excitement.)

We go through shot by shot and explain all that we can without spoiling too much for ourselves because we may be here to report on these things but it doesn't mean we're desperate to know the plot before it hits us. We talk about who some of these characters shown are in the comics, give a smidgeon of backstory (not too much though, this one's a quickie) and then talk about what some of this could mean for the Captain Marvel story!

Comic-Con day two was twice as exhausting as day one with twice as many people! So much so that mid-way into recording we wound up giving up and getting distracted and had to record the latter half of the episode weeks later after we recovered!

We start at a train station (sorry for the audio) with Tate and end up finishing the episode in a living room with Logan Lirette! Plus Bryan found his white whale of collectible figures: A Darth Revan that wasn't astronomically expensive!

We also discuss panels we wound up at, what it's like to go to industry parties for the con, and all the various ups and downs of navigating the crowds. Enjoy!

WE'RE BACK BABY! Season 2 of Sneaky Geek is back with a four part Comic Con break down detailing every day of our stay in the beautiful city of San Diego with the chaotic fabulous exhausting wonderful mess that is navigating the crowds and events surrounding San Diego Comic-Con!

We discuss what we saw, who we saw, what we're excited about (Did you guys hear Clone Wars is coming back?) and what con life is all about! We also finally have our dear friend Tate on! He's a major contributor to our geekiness and we love him dearly!

We hope you enjoy this short sweet episode and get ready for three more SDCC breakdowns to follow!

It finally happened!

Our podcast with Dave finally concludes with this humongous conclusion.

If you aren't fully capable of catching up with Doctor Who, this podcast (without being too terribly spoilery) will get you all caught up! We talk about what's been happening in the show and behind the scenes, how the fans had handled it, and what other Doctor Who related adventures you can enjoy after the big reboot in the mid-2000s!

It's our longest episode ever but hey, when you've got two (and sometimes three) weeks between each episode, why not?

HOLY CRAP WE MADE IT TO TWENTY EPISODES. I DON'T EVEN MAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO TWENTY JUMPING JACKS!

C.S. Lewis once said "When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." and he wrote The Chronicles of Narnia so he's pretty qualified.

We all used to put our childish things away but came back. Now we put away our childish things because we're worried our nephews are gonna mess them up. Seriously. Kids are destructive. Also we have special guest Scooter on with this week and boy are we excited! He's got a slick collection of Lego Mini-figures that are available for viewing on our Instagram! Thanks for listening!
